Application filed August 15, 1907. Serial No. 388,688.

T o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID S. PORTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jacksonville, in the county of Duval and State of Florida, have invented new and useful Improvements in Polishing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to polishing devices, and it consists in theeonstruction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawing,which illustrates certain of the embodiments of the invention:--Figure l is a plan view of the combined polishing cloth and powder ycontaining pocket. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a modified form comprising simply a powder containing pad. Fig. 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Similar reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawing, l designates a piece of cloth, chamois or other material that is especially adap 'ad for polishing jewelry, glassware and the like without scratching the same and at a suitable point on the piece l is a pocket 2 'formed at one side by the piece 1 itself and at the other side by a piece 3 `preferably of the same fabric, the piece 3 heilig secured in place by stitching 4. Before completely closing the pocket 2, a suitable polishing powder 5, .Fig 3, is supplied thereto so as to furnish the 'necessary powder for cleaning and polishing an object.` 'If desired, the powder containing pocket may be constructed in the form of a pad, as shown in liig. 2, said pad being composed of circular pieces of cloth or other fabric 6 and secured together by a peripheral row of stitches 7. The cleaning and polishing device can be used in a large variety of ways and the powder can be applied to the object to be cleaned either in a dry or'wet state, as desired. The powder is capable of passing through the pores of the fabric forming the pocket Vand when it is desired to apply powder in a wet state it is -merely mcessary l'onioisten a limited area ofthe pocket. \\'hen thc object can not be cleaned or tarnish removed by applying the powder dry, the powder can be moistened by water, gasolcnc, alcohol or 'the like and the object rubbed until pican.

After the cleaning is finished, the polishing f portion l of the device used for rubbing ell' the powder on the object and polishing the surface thereof. By conlining thc powder in a pocket in the manner set forth, thc cleaning device can be used for a great length of linie and without any 'asie of the powder. b

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the acconipanying drawing. the advantages of the construction an: method of operation will be readily under stood by those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains and while il. have described the principle of operation of the invention together with the device which l now consider to he the best embodiment thereof, l desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and lhat .such changes may be made when desired as are within the scope of the claims.

l'laving thus described .he invenlion, what I claim, is A A polishing device comprising a suitable piece of rectangular shaped material constructed of a sullicient size to provide a rubbing cloth, said cloth haying a single piece of porous material secured to one side of a corner thereof to provide a pocket which is adapted to receive apou'der lfheciin said pocket serving to be moistened and applied to the article to be polished, and said cloth serving to polish said arlicli, substantially as specified. l

llrtestiniony whereof, l aflllx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
